July Lyrics

[Verse 1: Noah Cyrus]
I've been holding my breath
I've been counting to ten over something you said
I've been holding back tears while you're throwing back beers
I'm alone in my bed

[Pre-Chorus: Noah Cyrus]
You know I, I'm afraid of change
Guess that's why we stay the same

[Chorus: Noah Cyrus]
So tell me to leave
I'll pack my bags, get on the road
Find someone that loves you better than I do, darling, I know
'Cause you remind me every day
I'm not enough, but I still stay

[Verse 2: Leon Bridges]
Feels like a lifetime
Just tryna get by while we're dying inside
I've done a lot of things wrong
Loving you being one, but I can't move on (Oh, I)

[Pre-Chorus: Leon Bridges]
You know I, I'm afraid of change
Guess that's why we stay the same
[Chorus: Leon Bridges]
So tell me to leave
I'll pack my bags, get on the road
Find someone who gives you all of the things I could not know
'Cause I keep fighting all the ways
I let you down so I can stay

[Bridge: Noah Cyrus & Leon Bridges, Both]
If you want me to leave
Then tell me to leave and, baby, I'll go
And, baby, I'll go

[Outro: Noah Cyrus & Leon Bridges]
You remind me every day
I'm not enough, but I still stay

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

It’s such an honor to have Leon Bridges’ heart and voice on ‘July.‘ I’ve been a fan of his for years, and to have an artist as credible as him who is so artistically talented who clearly loves music and puts his heart and soul into everything he does is [truly] a gift.
